My best friend is breast feeding her baby atm, I've been out to lunch with her numerous times and she's fed her baby in the restaurant we've been at, you seriously would barely even notice she's doing it, you can see nothing. I don't know where people see these exhibitionists who clearly only had babies so they'd have an excuse to whip their boobs out in public because anyone I've ever seen breast feeding their baby in public has always been very discreet about it. I think people who have a problem with a woman feeding her child in public need to get a grip tbqh
